Description

Rome was the largest & most famous city in the ancient world; its magnificent public buildings symbolized the wealth of the Roman Empire. Our knowledge of ancient Rome comes from: the Roman buildings & structures that are still standing; the writings that have been passed down; & artifacts that have been unearthed by excavations. This book explores Rome, the city at the center of the vast Roman Empire. Detailed color illustrations, some of them cutaway, show such things as the Forum romanum; a victory procession; gods & temples; a rich man’s house; the public baths; shops & work; ordinary people; the Circus Flavius; clothes; food; art & architecture; trade; death & funerals; & an estate outside the city. Includes a timeline of ancient Rome & a glossary. Illus.
